More Info

I became a civil engineer in 1999 and started climbing in 2003 shortly after getting married. When kids came along, our climbing suffered, though I was still able to run (with kids in the stroller). Now the kids are old enough that my wife and I can climb a little more. I like sport, trad, gym, and especially multi-pitch.
